TPAD 2 PERFORMANCE GAPS 

Find below an offline copy of the performance gaps each teacher is supposed to choose from while doing the APPRAISEE Appraisal.

This makes it easier for you and your APPRAISER to do their work online after declaring your information on this area. Whenever your weight rating is any value below the maximum in that area, tick ‘YES’ under column two below (Appraisee gap in the target).

If you ignore it, your Appraisal becomes
incomplete even if it shows 100% and will still submit to your appraiser. Write at least a remark under comments in the last column
